Garfield's Beverage Express

Wide selection of bottles including some rare finds and very easy to navigate between all the shelves. They also have chilled wine and beers which is convenient if going to BYOB places. They often host sample events and do have loyalty programs.

My experience with hospitality: Garfield’s wide selection of spirits, always bring me in. I was ecstatic to know I was in the area to be able to shop for my ingredients. I sought out to source the things I will need to create my marketing campaign hosted by Brown and Balanced; a Chicago community organization that celebrates and showcases Black bar & hospitality professionals. When entering and inquiring about the Spirit, I butchered the name of the Brand and instead of helping me navigate or troubleshoot what I may have been looking for, the employee told me “oh I’ve never heard of that” and went back to whatever had his attention in his laptop. I calmly told him “no worries I can look it up” for him and when I found the correct name. He proceeds to point me to a shelf that is two times my height. The other person eventually came over to help, but again both energies presented me with intellectual bullying as if I was in a space that I didn’t belong in, solely because Im mispronouncing a name. When funny enough, my rewards number was taken, and my name wasn’t even close to being pronounced right when they were confirming. But I digress. I actually love the options and the accessibility of the spirits of Garfield Beverage Express, which will bring me back, but the lack of hospitality that I feel, when I walk in both locations the two most recent times, as if I am alien to the space, I hope is something that you can revisit and work on.

Pretty good selection without having too much stuff. Very much enjoy the whisky and beer on offer. You'll likely find what you are looking for without being overwhelmed by choice.

This is my go to spot when I’m buying stuff for home. Today was the first time I went in and wasn’t exactly sure what I should get/needed but had a list of various things. I asked for suggestions/help, unbelievable customer service. They knew where everything was in the store, what was the best choice based on event/what I was trying to make. I don’t think I’ll be going in thinking I know what I want anymore. I will be asking them for advice from here on out.

Knowledgeable staff and a selection of rums that goes beyond your standard shelf stuffers. Hampden, Rhum JM, Mezan, Equiano, Clairins

My gosh!! I never seen so much liquor stashed in one place!! And the guy was so sweet and nice, we got there when the place first opened in the morning. I'll definitely be back!!

Great variety of beverages and the staff is super knowledgeable! Try their bourbon store picks, some of the best in the city. This place is also dog friendly, if you bring your pup to the counter they will give them a treat.

The wall of heaven I love this place. They have a little bit of everything from good wines, beers and great whiskey selection. Differently found my new favorite liquor store.

This liquor store had a very good variety of beers. I love the art designs and always hope to see new ones , and I did in this one. It is right on Milwaukee Ave.

Heads up they aren't wearing masks. This is normally a good store but during a pandemic i won't be shopping here. The clerk that was wearing a mask had it hanging from his chin even while walking around talking with patrons. Once Covid is over feel free to shop here though. Nice liquor store otherwise.

Stopped there to get a mexican coke and had a burger order at small cheval. Parked in their lot ran and grabbed my burger which was ready with no line. Came back to my car to put my burger in it before grabbing my coke and had a boot on my car. The guy literally put the boot on as soon as I parked. Cost $172 for a mexican coke. Horrible! Beware of this place!!! I would not recommend going there unless you are walking. I will never go back.

I love the store very large selection and not hard to find a good wine. I used to shop at this store quite frequently after work before I went out, and I was always approached by people when I got out of my vehicle for spare change it was very alarming. But the last time I went there, a gentleman greeted me before I went into the store as he held the door for me I asked him if he was a doorman and he told me no he was there to watch the parking lot. He had a badge and a vest, what a nice guy. I will be coming back to the store more often now that I know they have security there. What a pleasant surprise not to be greeted by a panhandler instead. I can't believe Garfield's owner went for the expense to protect his customers ---thank you.

First and foremost, this place is WAY over priced... second (and the driving force behind this review) is that the ignorant employee was behind the counter, yucking it up, with NO MASK. Ridiculous. You may not feel sick, but you just don't know (HENCE the mass pandemic). I won't be going back and will always steer and friends away moving forward.

Just echoing other reviews. Enjoyed the beer selection but was made very uncomfortable by 1-2 employees who apparently think their own store's mask requirement is optional for them. It's one thing (though still not ideal) if they are sequestered, but one was literally chatting it up with customers in the aisles as if there's nothing wrong with doing that right now. Really disappointed to see that and hope it's resolved soon.

Always a great selection of store picks on the shelf to try. The staff is well versed on Bourbon and happy to discuss
